Is Instagram targeting SMM Panels as 3rd party apps?
Yea that's what I meant is I think SMM panel services are the least likely to cause negative side effects. Because you aren't giving your password. But all other 3rd party apps that can "control" your account (posting for you, liking, commenting, etc because you've given them your password) are the ones they are cracking down on because it is too automated.
Because if someone visits your profile/post from a URL and not within the app, that isn't unusual...if a news source posts an article that gets a lot of attention about a celebrity or athlete for example, and they link to their IG profile via URL and hundreds of thousands of people visit it, surely that wouldn't have a negative effect.
That's basically how SMM panels deliver cheap services. But they are evolving to do it from within the app to stay ahead of IG.

Are most of these panels not scams or they don't work? They don't even boughter to answer questions if their panel works for this or that!
No not scams, it's controlled by computers. If you order likes you'll get them eventually, or their system will auto-refund after set amount of time (24-48 hours.) Problem is the panels aren't the source, they just re-sell from the source. Unfortunately you'll never get to the source, it's kind of like drug dealers LOL. If you ain't moving metric tons of weight, they won't talk to you and you'll never know who they are.
So depending which panel you buy from, there could be massive delays, price increases, etc if it has to go through a bunch of re-sellers.
Some panels are shady but I wouldn't call them scammers. They might say the services are better than they are, faster than they really deliver, etc. But ultimately if we don't get what we pay for and continue to buy, they aren't going to make money.
If they ain't responding then most likely they are understaffed or you're asking too general of a question.
What have you asked them before that they didn't respond?

why is that so?.... thanks for clarification btw. very useful info. But if it is true what you say, then there will be no guarantees at all that you ever get the likes etc. that you paid so you will have to signup say for 50 accounts around and hope that just 1 works? It's an annoying task.
Because they are not the source. The source controls the efficiency and speed of what you get. And with many IG updates lately, it all affects those things.
What I'm saying is if you buy likes, they don't have to deliver them instantly. And in fact they have no control over the speed - the source does. If everything came instantly and on time, they would make more money than if it's delayed. So it's in their best interest to give you good services, but again, it's not under their control.
If they are delayed, they won't refund you. Only get refunds if not delivered at all.
Look in their TOS for clarification. Each panel has different time frame. But most 48 hours. It should state the amount of time the services will be delivered before there is a refund. If more than 48 hours passed and you didn't receive, then message and ask for refund. You can view if it was delivered or not in your order histories.
If they don't deliver and never respond or refund, then yea that's a scammer in my book! But I haven't seen any.

okay thank you for clarification. I tried a few of them, but none of them worked at all
Hi guys, i had the same problems you said with my account! One day of some weeks ago, i received the same message from instagram on top of my feed! I used SMM Panels for likes and followers before that message and one app to unfollow non followers (but i have always used that app, also before buying followers and likes from SMM panel and never had problems). After i received the message, i change my password. I think instagram send this message to accounts who see a sudden instant growth of followers even if panels don't require log in infos.
You may have gotten the message because of using the follow and unfollow app. Not necessarily the panels. We need to find someone who has never used any apps to give their password to perform actions, and only purchased from a panel to see what they are experiencing.
Did you use any 3rd party apps in the past or SMM for as long as you created the account?
I agree.
These are exactly my thoughts. Anyone could simply purchase likes or followers for any other account they want and then would those accounts get banned when they weren’t even purchasing it?
Also this may be a logical explanation too — the SMM panel I use offer services from “real” people for likes or followers. An example would be likes or followers from South America. I noticed that this service is true to what it claims, because when the order starts pulling in, I notice these are real accounts of people who are using it to post their everyday things/Instagram stories/etc. most of these “real accounts” however are probably trying to build their following too because although they still use the account personally, they also have a large # following list.
My guess is that some of these SMM panels who promote real accounts liking, commenting, or following your account or posts, are utilizing people or accounts who signed up for a 3rd party app that automated their accounts into doing these things that we paid for without them mostly knowing! Does that seem something logical?
